ALsIKE CLOVER.

Alsikc clover is now SO COM
mon that its seed costs little more
per bushel than the common clo-
vcr. Ii Is not more than half the
size Of the latter, and four or five
quarts are rs good a seeding as a
peck Of the common red variety.
But il one Of the main objects is
improvement Of the soil, the mann
moth variety Of red clover, some
times called pca-yine, should be
sown. 1t has heavy, coarse stalks
and roots correspondingly large
and deep.

The critical time with bees in
winter is when warm days toward
spring excite them to activity.
1t Is very rare that bees suffer
from freezlng ia the hive. A
strong, wellhlled colony, with
plenty of food, will furnish all
the warmth required, and the
danger is rather from bright,
sunny days than from severe cold
ones. This is the greatest adyan-
tage Of having a house over them.
II excludes the sun, 50 that bees
arc not tempted TO wander away
and be chilled by winds from
which the hive is sheltered. II il
we'll TO examine all colonies
toward spring and see how the
food supply Is holding out. Under
some circumstances, especially if
kept too warm, bees will cat more
than they usually do, and feeding
a few pounds of honey, or, ifthat
can not be had, Of pure white
sugar dissolved in water, may
save q valuable swarm.

UNDYING LOVE.

When in the golden western summer
skies
A flaming glory starts, and slowly fades
Through crimson tone on tone to deeper
shades,
There falls silence, while the day
light dies
Lingering-but not with human agonies
That tear the soul, or terror that de-
grades;
holy peace the falling world pervades
Nor any fear Of that which onward lies;
For we'll, ali we'll, the darkened vale re-
calls
A thousand times ten thousand van
ished suns;
Ten thousand sunsets from whose black
ened walls
Retained the white and living day, that
In light which brings all beauty to the
birth,
Deathless forever round the ancient
earth.
o thou the Lord and Maker of life and
light!
Full heavy are the burdens that do
Our spirits earthward, as through twi-
light gray
We journey to the end and rest OF
night;
Though well we know to the deep inward
sight
Darkness is but thy shadow, and the
day
Where thou art never dies but sends
its ray
Through the wide universe with rest
less might.
o Lord of Light, steep thou our souls in
theel
That when the daylight trembles into
shade,
And falls the silence of mortality,
And all is done-we shall not be afraid,
But pass from light to light; from what
doth seem
Into the very heart and heaven of our
dream.

A Sharks Mistake.

"Don't you do no foolin' with a shark" said
a Barnegat fisherman as he crowded tobacco
into his pipe for another smoke. Sharks is
an animal as knows moren you think for. A
couple of years ago took party out after
weak fish in the yacht Mary. She belongs to
Capt. Small, or did afOre he died. We were
anchored up in Bay No. 3, and the fish were
biting like smoke, when all at once the school
left US 1 knowed that meant a shark, and l
looked around for him. Purity soon he came
alongside, and up with pole and gave him
an awful jab in the back. You can't hurt
sharks body very well, but his feelings are as
tender as a child's This fellow ran off a bit
and then cooked his eye at me and took good
long squint. Then he ran around under the
stern to read the yachts name, and when he
went off he gave his tail fiirt which meant
that he would call around and make it pleas
ant for me some other time
''Well, in the course of three or four days
Capt. Small got home and went out i'll tie
Mary for sheepshead. He went up to No.
and cast anchor, and then sot down III hi
usual positiOn-his right leg hanging over
the port quarter and his foot jist touching the
water He hadn't been there ten minutes be
fore along came a shark and cut that leg of
below the knee as slick as a chopper could
have done it. The captain had skeercely re
allied his loss afore the fish came back with
the Leg. give himself hist and a twist, and
the bloody meat was flung back into the boat
For why! Because the shark had discovered
that he had bit the wrong man He was
after me, and he had got Small. He had
uothin' agin Small, and he cheerfully brought
back the leg when he discovered his mistake
The captain he died Of the bite, but not be

ne said was that he forgive the shark. DE

The Nick in the Collar.

A queer thing about coats is the little
V-shaped nick in the lapel by the Shout
der. That nick doesn't make the coat
set" any better. 1t doesn't help the ap-
pearance of the coat in any way, yet there
that nick is in every frock coat worn the
world over. This has puzzled me for a
long time, and have just found out the
reason. When the First Napoleon first
gave way to his ambition he tried to i'm
plicate Gen. Moreau in Pichegru's con-
spiracy. Moreau had been Napoleon's
superior and was very popular, but under
he circumstances, as Napoleon was on
5op, il was not safe to express publicly
any sympathy with MOreau; so his ad
nirers agreed to nick their cOat-lapels to
show who they were. If you look at the
outlines of your coat now you will see that
they form an NJ like this =. Moreau, by
the way, was eXiled by Napoleon and
lived in Morrisville in this state. Isn't it
queer that we should all be commemorate
ing Moreau as we do without knowing it,

WHERE GREEN TURTLES COME FROM
How They Are Caught and How They Are
Taken Care of While in Confinement.

How They Are Caught and How They Are
Taken Care of While in Confinement.
Aldermen may come and aldermen may
gO-to Canada or over the range, but "the
song of the turtle" the glorious green tur-
tie, will still continue to "be heard in the
land" Its very name suggests long
table crowned with flowers, covered with
the choicest of viands and surrounded
with festive men, each of whom weighs
250 pounds. 1t suggests also witty toasts
and speeches, let off to the accompani-
ment of popping champagne cOrks, fra
grant cigars and the rOusing chorus ave
won't go home till morning"
The main supply of that estimable ami
NAL, the green turtle, comes from Florida,
the West Indies and the shores of Central
America and the Spanish main, although
the latter regions furnish but few. Once
in a while they are caught in warm
weather as far north as the coast Of Long
island. They range in weight al the way
from 500 to 600 pounds, but the average is
from eighty to ninety pounds. They are
amEmbiOus creatures and like their arch
enemy, man, must now and then have
breath of fresh air, or they will die. From
5000 to 5000 are annually brought to this
city, and they average to sell throughout
the year at about 10 cents per pound gross
weight
Mr.. Middleton dealer in green turtle
says they are taken in nets in the southern
waters by men who make a business of
catching them, and they are also captured
on the beaches as they come up out of the
water to deposit their eggs. This firm
keeps them through the winter in storage
rooms well warmed and fitted with
troughs filed with sea water. They are
fed with watermelon rinds, cabbage leaves
and other green stuff, and they grow fat
in the confinement They may be thus
kept as long as required
They are very sensitive to cold weather
and Will freeze as quickly, if exposed, as
would man. The flesh in appearances
resembles beef. Steaks are cut from the
shoulders, but all the rest, even to the
shell and flippers, goes into the soup ket-
tie. They do not bite nor snap like their
congener the swapping turtle. The shells
are of no value for making combs or orna-
mental shell work. Lying ON their backs
with their f1ippers tied, they will take no
food, and will live about six weeks, In
ordinarily warm weather with an occa'
sional bath.-NewYor Market Journal

The Gathering at GreeIey's Grave.


Only a few type-setters, some wearing
the uniform of the Grand Army, gathered
Rround Horace Greeley's grave in Green
wood. The monument over his remains
had been erected by their contributions.
1t is a simple bronze bust, mounted on
a pedestal ornamented with baSs-rehefs,
depicting the country boy at the case and
at the editorial sanctum. The great news
paper, once the coinage of his brain, was
totally unrepresented. Not Tribune EN-
pIoye stood at the grave. The man seemed
to be totally forgotten by all but Journey
men printers.
Headed by brass band, Greeley's post,
G. A r., and a few members of the Typo
graphical Union, No. g. with silken ban
ners, marched through the city Of the
dead, and gathered round the grave Of the
great journalist Fifty or more ladies, in
Guiding Gabrielle, the only surviving
child of Mr.. Greeley, sat near, and small
crowd of curiosity seekers pressed upon
the outskirts of the assemblage. The
floral display was scant and simple. 1t
was one, however, that would have
touched the heart of the dead man if he
could have seen it. Daisies, buttercups,
heads of red clover, and violets were
there. A fresh bouquet of hOneysuckles
made a f1owery contrast to basket OF
blue wistariaS near by. There were few
dollhouse plants. Flowers trained by ma
ture were the most used A wreath of
Iaurels lay at the base of the pedestal,
and horse chestnut blows were scattered
over the sward. The grafton was deliv-
cred by the president of the New York
Press club. He was compositOr on The

What Trne Merit VIII Do.

Tho unprecedented sale Of ''Bo-
schee's German Syrup within a
few years, has astonished the
world. It is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever dis
covered for the speedy and eGectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the
severest Lung troubles. 1t acts on
an entirely different principal from
the usual prescription given by
Physicians, as it does not dry up II
Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary re-
moves the cause OF the trouble
heals the parts affected and leaves
them in a purely healthful con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors
bills and long spell OF searous i'll
ness. A trial will convince you OF
these facts. 1t is positively sold
by all druggists and general dealers
in the land. Price, rs cts., large

open and dancing was commenced,
which was kept up until 1880 when
all repaired to the dining hall where
one Of the finest Of suppers was sat
before us, which every one done
Justice too. After the music had
their inner wants supplied dancing
was resumed until 4 a. m.
It is needless to say every one
had a splendid time; the smile OF
contentment upon the faces OF all
those present told US the tale. Ne
pains was spared to make every
thing pass off pleasantly. Mrs
Selover and sister, Mrs. Crouch, are
certainly to be congratulated upon
the success OF the evening.

AFEARFUL ACCIDENT
J G Sanbourgh is Found Nearly
Dead in his Cabin After a Night
of Terrible Agony
From Being Blown up by Giant Powder
In a Tunnel While working alone
N Other Local Notes Of Interest.
A Terrible Accident.

About 2 p. m. yesterday Fred
johnson came up from Prospect
and brought the sad news that J.
q. Sanbourgh had been blown up
while at work in his tunnel Thurs
day afternoon, wich is alongside of
the road between Hat and Sheep
mountains, close to Lost Trail
Greek.
On Fred's way up be noticed
Sanbourgh's cabin door appeared
to be open and when he got up to
the tunnel not finding Sanbourgh
but noticed blood in the snow he
hurridly went up to his cabin and
found the window in the door
broken in, when he called QUITO San
bourgh he answered him in a week
voice. Fred went in and asked what
was the matter, he replied, saying,
'"The cap didn't go Off" Upon ex-
amining him he found his face was
ghastly, both eyes appeared to be
blind and his left hand complete
ly shattered while one finger on
the right hand is about of.
After the explosion the old man
had crawled out of the tunnel and
made his way up ladder which is
about 6 or feet long, from the road
and along the trail to the cabin,
breaking the window to get in the
cabin, he crawled into bed and was
found in the above condition.
e n l.
dition he built fire and set out
with a jump for assistance, and
about a mile from the disaster he
found Archie Mcleod, Sam Wal
dron, Wilber Wright and Charlie
Hammond. Informing them Of
the sad affair they at once FASTENED
to the spot to render all the assis-
tance possible and get sleigh to
bring him up to Crystal. Fred
came on up to town and informed
all Of us here;when VIM. Berming-
ham went to other camps to getas-
sistance. Preparations were made
to receive Mr.. Sanbourgh and a
litter made to take him to Crested
Butte, while those at the scene OF
the accident, and E. L. Jones VIM.
Wood, Tim Ring and VIM. Robin
son, who came up from the lake,
had decided it was best to get q
doctor from Glenwood Springs.
Tim Ring Immediately sat out for
that purpose and will have a doctor
there this evening. The boys made
a sleigh and he was taken down to
VIM. Robinson's where he will be
attended to by Mrs. r.
The accident appears to have
been caused by Sanboursh digging
out shot which had missed fire
when he hit the cap which caused
it to explode.
Mr. Sanbourgh is an old man and
was working alone at the time Of
the accident, and had gone up TO
his cabin to die thinking he would
not be discovered, and had Fred not
been passing at the time he did the
old man would have been dead ere
this. "
When any accident occures to
fellow man in the mountains, one
nnd all in the community are ever
willing to render their assistance.
